In a statement from iHeartPodcast president Conal Byrne, the network shares "To be honest, we don't want to do this podcast and we just want to get this announcement over with as soon as possible. Ron quite literally forced us into making this podcast with him, first calling us more than one hundred times in a single day and then proceeding to actually show up at our doorstep and physically force himself into our studios. We do hope the podcast is well-received, but in the meantime, we hope by agreeing to do the announcement he will stay away."

Will Ferrell is known for his work in ELF, DADDY'S HOME, TALLADEGA NIGHTS, BLADES OF GLORY, and his acclaimed run as a cast member on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
